It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Pretty much all of the first generation of JPL and later NASA was built on using Nazis to develop aerospace technology to ~~kill the Korean and Vietnamese~~ fight the spread of communism. This is not surprising in the slightest. Doesn't help that the astronauts themselves almost always were war criminals.
Don't do the US dirty like that. Jack Parsons was a homegrown fascist.

Jack Parsons is exactly who I was thinking of! I meant both literal NSDAP members and the esoteric fascists like Parsons, the ideological fathers of the JPL.
